IMPROVEMENT' IN FEATl-lERRENOVATQRS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. ldl, dated March 3, 1874; application filed April 5, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLEs SEIIMAN, of St. Joseph, in the county of Buchanan and State of Missouri, have invented a new and Improved Feather Renovator, of which the following is a specification:
This invention relates to certain improvements in that class of featherrenovators which are provided with a feather-chamber, dryingchamber, and steam-supply chamber; and it consists in providing the steam-supply chamber with a series of nozzles or tubes for admitting the steam into the feather-chamber, said nozzles being combined with surroundin g chambers or jackets, which are designed to prevent the open ends of the steam-nozzles from clogging. The invention further consists in the provision of waste passages or tubes for conducting liquid substances from the featherchamber, the upper ends of said passages being partially closed by hinges or movable covering-plates, which, while permitting the escape ofu liquids, will prevent solid matter and feathers from entering the waste-passages.
Figure l is a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improved feather-renovator, taken on the line x w, Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a trailsverse section taken on the line 3/ y, Fig. l.
A is the holder, B is the heater and distributer at the bottom ot' it, and C is the inclosing-cylinder. The edges of the holder are united to the cylinder at D, an d the cylinder has a long wide door, E, over the top ot' the holder, opening directly into it. The holder is not quite as large as the cylinder, so that there is an inclosed heating-space, G, at the sides and ends of the holder. I is the pipe, which admits the steam from a boiler through one of the journals K ofthe cylinder, which is hollow. Inside ot' the holder it has a branch, J, with a stop-cock, L, for admitting the steam to space G, also a branch, M, with a cock, N, admitting steam to the heater and dis tributer B. This distributer has numerous small pipes, O, discharging into the holder. They are protected from injury by the covers I), to distribi, utc steamthroughout the contents of the holder to be steamed. It also has waste-passages Q for the condensed water discharging through pipe It, which has a cock, S, .which is shut while the steam is to be kept in. These discharge-passages are protected against choking with dirt, feathers, hair, Sac., by the covers T, which do not shut down close enough to prevent the escape of the water, and they are hinged so that they can be raised readily to clean out the spaces under them, also the passages, when needed. U is an escape-pipe for the water from the space G. The opening through the doors E is large, so that featherbeds, mattresses, and the like can be readily put in to be treated and taken out..
I propose to use disinfecting fluid with the water of which the steam is made, to kill any contagious and other foul matters that may be contained in the beds or mattresses. Themachine may be revolved or not while treating the feathers, Src.
The steam is first admitted directly to the holder through the distributer to thoroughly steam the contents. It is then shut oft' from it and admitted to the space G to dry ofi' he moisture. In case the apparatus is made stationary, I will have the inlet steam-pipes larranged onthe outside, so that it will be more convenient to actuate the cocks.
Having thus described my invention, I claim CHARLES SEAMAN.
